    Wonderful officiant

    Jan was a wonderful officiant and day of planner for our wedding. She was professional and gave timely communication. She walked us through the whole wedding process, always making sure we knew what was happening. She got to know us and wrote a beautiful ceremony that was funny and inspiring.

    Beautiful ceremony!

    Jan was incredible! She wrote a beautiful ceremony for our wedding. She was also so professional, organized, and prepared. We really appreciated how she made sure the wedding party knew what they needed to, gave us unique and thoughtful ideas to use during the ceremony, and truly made us feel comfortable. She was responsive to emails and always answered any questions we had. We love that she took the time to get to know us, and her ceremony felt unique and perfect for us. She was such an important part of making our wedding day special. I would not hesitate to recommend her! Thank you Jan!

    Jan made our ceremony so unique to us and special!

    Jan was organized and friendly from our first meeting. She helped us figure out all the things we weren’t even aware we were supposed to be doing! My husband and I have 4 children between us and we really wanted them to be as much apart of the big day as we were. Jan did just that. We got multiple compliments on her when the ceremony was done. I highly recommend.

    Very professional, organized, kind and sweet. I was very nervous, not about marrying my soon to be husband but, of all the people staring at me. Jan made us feel so comfortable. Thank you again Jan.

    A great officiant, coordinator and a truly wonderful person.

    We were so happy that Jan came into our lives. We liked her immediately when we met her and knew we wanted her to be a part of our wedding. She's warm, friendly, helpful, and obviously truly enjoys what she does and we could tell she really cared about us as people and as a couple. We hired Jan to both officiate our wedding and to be our day-of coordinator and honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was amazing. She will make absolutely sure your wedding day is every bit as special as it should be.

    When we first met with Jan we were in way over our heads with wedding planning and were just about to be out of the country for almost a month and wouldn’t return until shortly before our wedding. Although at first we were only interested in hiring her to officiate our wedding it quickly became apparent from her questions and suggestions and interest in our situation that she would be perfect as our coordinator as well. She was immediately invested in us on a personal level. She’s easy to talk to, easy to trust, easy to open up to, and funny. She was like a friend who we knew would have our backs while we were gone. Jan made the day run smoothly and put together a truly thoughtful, touching and sincere ceremony. She really took the time to get to know us and the words she spoke during the ceremony were beautiful and perfectly appropriate for the two of us. Obviously we were both really impressed with her and would recommend Jan to anyone who wants to make sure their wedding day is full of good vibes! She’s great!

    Absolutely Wonderful Officiant - Will Move Mountains To Bring Your Ceremony the Value it Deserves

    Jan was fantastic for our wedding. Not only did she take the time to understand us, our story, and our vision for our wedding, but she then went the extra mile to surprise us and make the ceremony more than we expected it to be. For any looking for a valuable component to your wedding day, Jan is the best officiant in the area, hands down!

    Thank you Jan! ❤️

    My husband and I are extremely thankful for Jan! Jan had us meet with her in person and was extremely sweet and easy to talk to. We are a young couple and planned to have a very small wedding, so we didn’t really know how we wanted the ceremony to go. Jan asked questions to get to know us and created the perfect ceremony for our small family setting. She made us feel so comfortable while we were up there and walked us through every bit of it. I would 100% recommend Jan to anyone getting married.

    Jan is incredible! No one will make you feel more special on YOUR big day!

    Jan is such a lovely and sweet person who makes you feel warm and welcomed from the moment you meet her. You know her heart and passion is in making each couple she works with feel valued, special, and that nothing matters more than YOUR big day! We cannot thank Jan enough for the time she took to get to know us and for the beautiful ceremony that was an outgrowth of the effort she put into us. I've had so many compliments about the ceremony that Jan performed and how she made each of my family and friends feel confident and special in the roles they played in our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jan... We will forever treasure our wedding! -Kellie & Jorge-

    Jan is an absolute pro. She made the entire process so easy for us. She met with us, figured out exactly what we wanted, and then followed through with a perfect ceremony. She was a pleasure to work with. We can't recommend her enough.

    Wonderful Ceremony, Amazing Service

    Jan is simply awesome. I had to plan my wedding from 4 hours away. Then add on navigating my complex family relations, it was overwhelming at time. Jan was there to reassure me that everything would be just fine and she always had a plan. Our ceremony was wonderful. She made a beautiful, personal, and non-religious ceremony (as per our request). If I could go back I would have hired her as my coordinator as well. She's worth it.

    A great experience!

    Planning a wedding long-distance wasn't easy, but Jan made our ceremony one of the highlights of the day. We hired her after exchanging a few e-mails and we met with her in person several months before the ceremony. She was very warm and personable, and asked us both questions that made us think about our love for each other. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a wedding officiant in the Tacoma area!

    Jan was wonderful!!! Our ceremony was beautiful. Jan made it so personal and it was like a close friend was performing it for us. Everything we could have ever wanted and so much more. She included our hand fasting and our own vows and it flowed so well with the portion she wrote. I would recomend Jan to anyone who asked. If you want a personal, romantic, heart warming ceremony that speaks to who you are as a couple Jan is who you should choose!
    Thank you,
    Mr. and Mrs. Copeland

    We are so glad that Jan officiated at our wedding, our ceremony was perfect. She worked so hard to create a memorable day and a ceremony that was uniquely us. Our guests were raving about the ceremony, with many complimenting it as one of the best they have ever seen. We would highly recommend Jan, and can't thank her enough for all of her work.

    Jan is wonderful! The best advice I got from my venue owner was to hire a day of coordinator. We hired Jan as our officiant and day of coordinator and she made sure everything ran smoothly. Jan kept us on schedule throughout the day and evening. I don't know what we would have done without her! There were so many moving parts both before and during the wedding, she kept us on track. I strongly recommend hiring her.

    Jan is a consummate professional. Even though she has a lot of clients, she always made us feel like we were the only ones! Our ceremony was beautiful and went perfectly, no small part to Jan's hard work in organizing it. Her words during the ceremony brought both laughter and tears. We'd recommend her to anyone!

    Jan was absolutely wonderful! We knew within the first few minutes of meeting with her that she was the officiant for us! She showed genuine interest and care when it came to getting to know us as a couple, our journey, our culture/religion, and our wedding overall. Jan was there for us as more than just an officiant, offering advice and resources for our wedding planning process. Our ceremony was personal and beautiful because of Jan's sweet words and all the time she invested in our story. If you are considering Jan as your officiant you will be in love with how personable, accommodating, and kind she is from the moment you meet her through even after your ceremony. We have such wonderful memories from our wedding ceremony and we owe so much of it to Jan!

    We hired Jan to our wedding and it don't regret a thing. Jan met with us prior to any contract being signed for a couple of hours. After that meeting, we decided to book her. She was super helpful and the ceremony was perfect. She was very responsive via email and phone when needed. High Recommend!

    Jan was truly amazing. We couldn’t have found a better officiant. She was so great to work with and made our small elopement so special. The vows she had wrote and the way she included what we had wrote about each other was just beautiful. Even my parents loved her. Thank you for everything Jan!

    Jan,

    Even though you know we both love to write, words will be hard to find to express how grateful we are for the service you performed at our wedding July 7th, 2018. Your attention to detail in every meeting we had beforehand, your ability to put us at ease in a very anxiety-inducing situation, your quick response time to any and all questions, and your amazing handling of the ceremony the day of, all contributed to a day that we will never forget.

    With much love,
    Mikel and Brian Keese

    Jan was AMAZING! At our first meeting we felt an instant connection to Jan that screamed “she’s the one!” Throughout our subsequent meetings, she took the time to learn our background and really understand our love story. She offered valuable tips and ideas that she had accumulated throughout her years of experience as an officiant and a wedding coordinator which helped make our wedding day that much more special. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, we
    felt that Jan was working with us, not for us, and it was nice having that kind of relationship in which we could trust the advice being given was in the best interest of our wedding. For our wedding ceremony, Jan wrote a beautiful ceremony that included our 8-year-old daughter. It was such a special moment that it brought tears to our daughter’s eyes, and to many of the guest in attendance as well! We are SO glad that we chose Jan to officiate our wedding and could not thank her enough for making it such a beautiful and special day! Thank you so very much Jan! <3

    Where do we begin? Now that the wedding is done, we look back and are so happy and thankful to have had Jan as our officiant. When we first met her, she was all smiles and very welcoming, especially to us as we’re a same-sex couple. She took the time to really get to know us, our history, our backgrounds, religion and so forth. Jan asked more questions than we had thought of and for every question we had, she was open and patient. During our rehearsal, our large family was impressed with how well she was able to handle a huge crowd, while staying professional and friendly. She was super organized and detailed, which made our wedding ceremony to turn out exactly as we hoped it would be. She offered her ideas and listened to ours. Jan was early and spoke with our wedding party and vendors to ensure things would work well. Her words were touching and she had triple checked with us that a few dates and details were spot on. A big bonus is that she has a great sense of humor. We recommend Jan to all couples who are looking for someone who won’t give the general ceremony… she will give you a ceremony to remember full of love and happiness. 5+ stars and more for sure! Thank you so much, Jan!
    -Shayla & Elaine
